We had several (six?) brushcutters running, targeting the never-ending thicket of barberry that stretches south towards 95th Street. We keep returning to this spot, pushing the wall of brush farther back with each visit. We made a big dent in it on this day.

In the before and after pictures above, you can see the difference. In the first frame, Doug (cutting brush) is only visible from the waist up and the ground not visible at all. In the second frame, all the barberry is gone and a significant amount of light reaches the ground.
